Couples Adventure Challenge #5

Ready for another Couples Adventure Challenge??

Get Ready.....Here We Go!!

 

For those of you who don't know what the Couples Adventure Challenge is, its a book that challenges us to disconnect to reconnect as a couple. To unplug from the norm and have fun scratching off challenges (dates) that, if you scratch off a date, you HAVE to do it. You agree to commit to what ever the challenge behind the scratch off says.

 

As we scratched off the new Adventure Challenge #5, we discovered we were being challenged on something we are very bad, awful, dreadful and plain old SUCK at. COOKING.

It said, "Go to a bookstore and pick out a cookbook. Ask a STRANGER to open the book and pick out a recipe of THEIR choosing. This is your meal for the night!"

I remember Wayne and I just looking at each other in horror after reading this. We headed to the Allen Library....asked a Librarian where the Cooking section was, and located a book by Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper. We headed back to the Librarian, explained what we were doing, and let her pick out her selection for us to complete.

She smiled a coy smile, rubbed her hands together, and got to looking through the cookbook. She was a mercifully kind lady named Cindy and picked out a Lemon Pie. WHEW! My perfect dinner meal! 

 

 

So yesterday, we completed Couples Adventure Challenge #5!! This was a lemon pie FROM SCRATCH.....crust and all....a favorite of Joanna Gaines and we SLAYED the pie!!! Perfection!....well, with the exception of Liz forgetting to take the seeds out of the lemons before putting them in the mixer, but other than that, it was PERFECT and more importantly, FUN!

 

 Check it out.....

 

 

And look who got a BIG OL' piece of Joanna Gaines' homemade lemon pie made with our very own hands for Adventure Challenge #5!??! The Librarian, Cindy, at the Allen Library who chose it for us to make....thats who!!
